Looks like Livings is having a solid season. Everyone else have been average and in Free's case, pretty awful. This definitely should be priority number one come this off-season ... fix this damn offensive line.

when you are cheap you usually get what you pay for.
One can hope that Smith will improve as he was the only expensive part
Livings has been inconsistent
Bernie stinks
Cook is a backup
Free -well enough about that loser

I question how much better Free or Bernadeau would be with better player next to them?

I mean, neither one is setting the world on fire. But where would Bernadeau rank if he had a tackle next to him who was say ranked 40th rather than 68th?

Free's rated as the worst player ever because he is leading the league in penalties. They torch you for that. He's been bad even without penalties but factor those in and it's not even close as to whop is the worst player with 11+ starts. If he can't stay on-sides not sure who slides in next to him matters. Tho benching him seems to have done wonders for his concentration.

Bern is a heady guy but he isn't a physical beast sadly. He would probably benefit a great deal from a top notch OC who can help double-team. He is beaten regularly on stunts it seems. Not a quick reactor.

Livings has been very solid. Good player inline and straight ahead. Not much of a player in space unless you let him get into your body.

Tyron Smith would probably be a top 10 LT if he stayed onsides. That's be what I'd work with him most on this off-season. He is far too quick and agile to need to jump snaps.

How good would slop be playing next to quality? A little better but still slop. What's your point? Do you want to fix the OL or continue messing around while your franchise QB keeps getting older?

Bernadeau and Livings are backup quality players. Cook is an emergency body and Costa shouldn't be in the league. Doug Free is exactly what I said he was during the Doug Free...Superstar! tour. Completely overrated. He's a swing tackle, nothing more.

You will not fix this OL until those players are no longer on the field. You can improve it next year by replacing some of them but you won't fix it to the tune of it being a strength of the team like it should be until all those players are either ex-Cowboys or sitting on the bench watching the game.

That is the long and short of it, Mikey. You have to have a base of talent before coaching and scheme comes into play. We don't have that.
